    • The "show house" was the former Nopper Eagle Foundry building. Mr. Nopper [John Nopper], former New Hamburg treasurer and who also operated a foundry, had become insolvent March 30, 1870. Creditors had arranged a property sale and Reeve Fred Merner, also a local businessman, had become the owner.
